my understanding is that ABC was giving dick the full decision as to whether he would show up. Remember that Clark is passionate about his shows and name - he wanted to be there and would have fought if ABC said no. I am sure that Dick knew this would be one of the few years left he could do it - and rather than see him as handicap I see him as a man of strength who overcame his affliction to rise up once more to be with his 'friends'
